Summer Scouting Report: Memphis OL Chris Adams

Want a sleeper offensive lineman heading into the 2025 season?

Another week, another 2026 NFL Draft scouting report.

First, we traveled to Arizona State to talk about their cornerback Keith Abney II. This time, we head to the Group of Five level to the University of Memphis.

The Tigers are hiding a fun player in offensive lineman Chris Adams. The NFL is starved for offensive linemen, so they will take them, no matter what school they come from, if they can play or provide some added security on the depth chart.

And Adams can play.

So let’s talk about the redshirt senior entering his last year of eligibility with big-time 2026 NFL Draft aspirations. What does Adams bring to the field? Where does he have room to improve? Where does his draft stock currently stand?

I’ve got you covered.
